The Spoons That Are My Ears!

My first book of the year 2024 is in fact only the first volume of a four volume project. Dabbler in Drabbles will consist of exactly one-thousand drabbles (flash fictions that are exactly 100 words long). Such a project will make a very big book and will take a long time to write. Therefore I have decided to divide the project into four and publish each volume when it is ready (even though the later volumes will remain to be written).

It might be supposed that one-thousand drabbles spread across four volumes means that each volume will feature 250 drabbles. But this isn't the case. I have devised a different scheme. The first volume contains 100 drabbles; the second volume will contain 200 of them; the third volume 300; and the fourth and final volume 400. That's one-thousand in total but every volume is of a different length. After the last volume is published there will be a large omnibus edition.

The first volume has just been published. Furthermore, the ebook edition of Dabbler in Drabbles #1 is free from any Amazon outlet for the next five days. This link is to Amazon US but check your own Amazon if you are in another country.

To quote the blurb about the book: "A drabble is a flash fiction that is exactly one hundred words long. And here we have a cyclops who is writing them and telling them to his friend, a centaur. One hundred drabbles. The stories are miniature adventures, comedies and tragedies, tales of space and time, accounts of voyages and discoveries, many of them ironic or paradoxical, some of them featuring robots and monsters and ghosts, but each one compressed into an easily-digested snack for the mind. And this is the first volume of four..."
